In the end, Incheon International Airport Corporation decided to directly negotiate a contract with Shinsegae and requested the Korea Customs Service (KCS) to hold a patent examination committee.

If the selection of operators is delayed, it is difficult to open 2 terminals until January next year.

As reported, the other T2 contracts have been awarded as follows: DF1, The Shilla Duty Free; DF2, Lotte Duty Free; DF4 SM; DF5 Entas Duty Free; DF6 CItyPlus.
The new terminal is due to open in the final quarter of this year.

Shinsegae will proceed with negotiations with Incheon International Airport Corporation on specific matters related to the duty-shop business contract in the future.
